Is a wife's refusal to help her husband financially when he is capable of working considered a sin?

You are not obligated to spend on your husband and child, and there is no sin upon you for not financially assisting your husband with your money. If your husband is capable of earning, he should not be lazy about working by relying on your spending on him.
